Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small saucepan, add 1 cup of fresh blueberries along with just enough water to cover the bottom. Cook over medium-low heat for about 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries soften and start to burst.
  2. Carefully transfer the cooked blueberries to your blender. Add in 3/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil and 1/3 cup of balsamic vinegar. Blend on high for about 30-45 seconds until smooth.
  3. Pour the vinaigrette into an airtight container and let it cool at room temperature for a few minutes before sealing and refrigerating.
  4. Drizzle over fresh salads, grilled chicken, or roasted vegetables for a burst of summer flavor.
